Beautiful Fall Doll 24 This gorgeous image stood out for me and I knew exactly how I wanted to create with her. This is My Besties Beautiful Fall Doll 24 from My Besties Shop After colouring her with ProMarkers, I attached her to a layering of 4 die cut tags, inking up the edges in brown distress oxide, using the beautiful papers from Cool It Mega Pack. These papers were the perfect autumn/fall colours for my project ... and I just LOVE the plaid/tartan paper! I stamped the sentiment several times, which is unbranded from my stash. I finished off my project by attaching a double bow in orange and brown. I die cut leafy sprigs and attached to mulberry roses to match.  I'd like to enter the following challenges: Sweet Stampin' - Tartan/Plaid Allsorts Challenge - Roses Krafty Chicks #570 Aud Sentiments #280 Passion for Markers  #602 - Bloom Lemon Shortbread #151 Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2130
